Nike Stride Half Zip Top - Purple - M

The primary benefits are reduced chafing, improved breathability, and sweat-wicking to enhance comfort during runs.

It is a lightweight mid-layer designed for mild to warm conditions. It can be used as part of a layering system in colder weather but is not designed as a primary cold-weather garment.

The top is designed with specific seam placements and fabric textures in mind to minimize friction against the skin during repetitive movements like running.

The UV protective properties are built into the fabric fibers and are designed to last for the lifespan of the garment with proper care. They do not wash out.

While optimized for running, its lightweight and breathable design makes it suitable for other athletic activities like cycling, gym workouts, or hiking.

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

This model is available in other colors, such as Grey and Black, with similar functionality.

Ensure you are using mild detergents and avoiding fabric softeners. Residue buildup can affect breathability. Wash with like colors.

Confirm the size is correct and that the garment is worn smoothly without bunching. Consider wearing a base layer underneath if issues persist.

The UV protective properties are inherent to the fabric and do not degrade significantly with normal washing. Ensure the garment is clean for optimal performance.

Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can lubricate the teeth if necessary.
